I hope they're going to jettison a lot of the old costume detail and go for something less dated. The cape and shield matter. Beyond that...well, DC Comics is dumping the old suit and filmmakers tend to take even more liberties with these things. Look at every version of Batman for the last twenty years.

Appropriately so, since he was doing the whole "death of Superman" thing and was borrowing from the comic continuity itself. He also had a red/blue cape version designed and tested, which was not terribly good.
